The effects of suspended sediment on coral reef fish assemblages and feeding guilds of north-west Australia

This study was funded by the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project's State Environmental Offsets Program and administered by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The Wheatstone Project is a joint venture between Australian subsidiaries of Chevron, Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC), Woodside Petroleum Limited and Kyushu Electric Power Company, together with PE Wheatstone Pty Ltd (part owned by TEPCO). Funding support was also received from the Gorgon Barrow Island Net Conservation Benefits Fund, which is administered by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. Thank you to Helen Chedzey and Mark Broomhall from the Remote Sensing and Satellite Research Group at Curtin University for generating and providing the remotely sensed total suspended solids data for this study.
